Dr Makhubela commented on Newzroom Afrika and SABC News regarding the outcome of the South African case, against Israel, at the ICJ. While it is a significant ruling, it has to be noted that it does not entail a ceasefire, but, calls on Israel to implement mechanisms to prevent acts of genocide from taking place. He further outlines to impact this decision is to have on South Africa’s international relations, and interactions with major powers, such as the USA where more than 200 lawmakers signed a letter to the Secretary of State – calling for action to be taken against South Africa.
